The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'origine de cet établissement remonte au moins à 1073, date de la donation par Evrard, vicomte de Chartres, à l'abbaye de Marmoutier de ce qu'il possédait à Nottonville. Les parties intéressantes du bâtiment, du 15e ou 16e siècle, se composent d'un portail fortifié flanqué de deux tourelles, avec une grande partie du mur d'enceinte, une grange importante qui a conservé sa charpente, et d'un corps de logis qui, bien que privé de ses planchers, est resté tel qu'à l'origine, avec ses cheminées et son escalier à vis. Il existait aussi une chapelle, qui a disparu.

The origin of this establishment goes back at least to 1073, the date of the donation by Evrard, viscount of Chartres, to the abbey of Marmoutier of what he possessed at Nottonville. The interesting parts of the building, from the 15th or 16th century, consist of a fortified portal flanked by two turrets, with a large part of the enclosure wall, an important barn which has preserved its roof structure, and a main dwelling which, although deprived of its floors, has remained as it was originally, with its fireplaces and its spiral staircase. There was also a chapel, which has disappeared.
